Abstract
En 中文
Adaptive materials, characterized by their dynamic response to external stimuli, undergo changes in their physical or chemical properties to suit varying environmental conditions. Mechanical forces, ubiquitous in our surroundings, are widely utilized by living systems to reinforce tissues and bones. This natural process has spurred numerous studies in recent decades. This article first focuses on recent advancements in mechanically triggered adaptive materials, examining the underlying principles, fabrication methods, and potential applications across diverse disciplines. Challenges in the field are identified along with future insight and opportunities, such as leveraging the chemistry toolbox and emerging engineering technologies to develop adaptations with higher order and longer time-scale response. Future adaptive materials are envisioned to possess unique properties and functionalities, enabling applications such as self-repair, biomimetic smart systems, and information storage across diverse scenarios.
